The Divorce and Separation Recovery Course

The Divorce and Separation Recovery course is run over seven Monday evenings from 7.00pm to 9.45pm in Church House 'upstairs' at Holy Trinity Brompton. The course is run three times a year and is both practical and supportive, giving any separated or divorced person the opportunity to discuss the challenges they are facing and the tools to deal with these effectively.

Who is it for

The course is for any person who is separated, or who is currently going through a divorce or is already divorced, either recently or at any time in the past. Based on Christian principles, it is helpful for any person with or without a church background.

Topics covered include

• Facing the effects of separation and divorce
• The importance of good communication
• Resolving conflict
• Forgiveness
• Divorce – the legal issues
• Parenting issues
• Moving forward with hope
• What’s involved

Each evening begins at 7:00pm with supper followed by a talk, with opportunities for discussion in small groups. The small groups are led by people who have gone through divorce themselves. The setting is welcoming, relaxed and unthreatening.
